Marla Bakery Kitchen Communal opened in the Mission last week. The story of the little window, right off the corner of York and 18th is that Marla’s duo of Amy Brown and Joe Wolf were using the space as a commissary kitchen, and decided to open up a window offering pastries, breads, Wrecking Ball coffee and sandwiches. Their Richmond spot is still in the works as well. Hours are weekdays from 9am-4pm. 613 York Street, near 18th, San Francisco. marlabakery.com
